With Manual
The ' Shortridge. Blue Devils squared things up with Manual last night, dropping the Redskins, 35-26, at the North Side gym where the South Side school had hung a 41-35 defeat on Shortridge last month. In other games played last night, Washington romped away with Cathedral, 49-24, and New Augusta turned in a surprise 23-20 win over Broad Ripple. Shortridge ‘never was headed: in its battle with Manual. The Blue Devils held at 5-4 advantage at the end of the first quarter, extended their lead to 17-13 at halftime and held the Redskins scoreuess from the field in the third period while making the : score 26-14. ‘Three players were bariished from the game on personal fouls in the final heat as the Redskins opened a

Big 10 Conference Race Hits Has Way Mark Tomorrow
By TOMMY DEVINE United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.—One of the tightest Big Ten basketball races in history hits the half-way mark tomorrow ight when four conference
Indiana and Illinois, the undefeated leaders, meet second division
The Hoosiers face Michigan at Bloomington, while Illinois goes to Columbus, O., to meet Ohio State. In
other contests Purdue opposes Northwestern at Chicago, Minnesota entertains Chicago. at Minneapolis and in a non-league game Iowa opposes Knox at Iowa City. Indiana, whose winning margin has averaged 20 points per game in six straight conference conquests, rates as the top-heavy favorite over a Michigan team that triumphed only once in four starts.
balance, size, speed and cleverness
‘to be troubled seriously by Michi-
gan. Coach Branch McCracken's quintet ranks ‘second in the conference on offense with a 58.1 points-per-game average. Michigan has a scanty mark of 34.5 points per game. :
Opportunity for Hamilton
In addition to providing Indiana a chance to pad its team record, the game with Michigan should give Ralph Hamilton, the Hoosiers’ high scoring forward, an opportunity to better his individual point-making average. Hamilton now has 98 points in conference competition to rank second in the scoring race. ". Michigan’s only league victory was a 38-34 decision over Wisconsin. The losses were to the Badgers, Northwestern and Illinois. Ohio State gave Illinois some anxious moments in their meeting at Columbus a year ago before falling by a nine point margin, 58-49. The Bucks may be troublesome again, but there appears little likeljhood of an upset. With the veteran Ken Menke back in the starting lineup, Illinois now is at full strength and has a quintet in which every player is a dangerous scorer. It is a combination with too much all-round class for Ohio State. 1 After tomorrow’s encounters, Indiana and Illinois each will have
{six games remaining.
Purdue is conceded a slight edge over Northwestern. The Boilermakers long have been a jinx team for Northwestern, winning 29 of 35 contests between the outfits. Purdue has won three and lost three in the conference, while Northwestern’s mark is one triumph

The Hoosiers have too much team
More than 2500 fans stood in silence at.the Coliseum while players of the Indianapolis Capitals and the Pittsburgh Hornets faced each other at attention on the ice. The lights were darkened and the crowd and players remained at attention for one "minute in memory of the for- | mer sports writer for The Times who was killed Monday in the crash of his navy plane.
In the third period, with the score deadlocked, Shannon and Moose Sherritt of the Caps engaged in a high sticking duel at one end of the rink and continued their battle a short time later in center ice. When the ar guument seemed to be over, Sherritt turned to skate away and while his back was toward the Pittsburgh. defense man, Shannon smashed him over the head with his hockey stick, opening a gash in the head of Sherritt and knocking him unconscious. Shannon drew a five-minute major penalty and then was banished from the game. Officials finally restored order after players from both teams .ganged up in what started out to be a free-for-all. Pittsburgh came from behind in the third period to earn its tie. The Caps were leading, 2-0, as a (Continued on Page 27)
Beau Jack Is 11-5 Favorite
NEW YORK, Feb, 5 (U. P)— Another $65,000 gate is expected at Madison Square Garden tonight when lightweight champion Beau Jack, dynamic young Georgia Negro, tackles veteran Fritzie Zivic, former welter king, in a non-title 10-round bout. ; ? In a somewhat similar over-the-weight match at the Garden last week featherweight champion Willie Pep and lightweight Allie Stolz grossed $65,989. For tonight's engagement Jack is favored over Zivic at 11-5 because of his youth, stamina and punch, although Jack will be spotting his

him for bringing.to a new position seen this season. What did Cowles expect Friddle to do, and why does he suppose ‘Toledo hired him? “If you thought Harold Anderson (Friddle’s predecessor) brought them in,” says Cowles, “you should see the six-foot two-inch Negro, Dave Minor.” Cowles asserts that Minor, “who can outjump a kangaroc,” put in a season as a professional by way of preparing te be a Toledo freshman.
Follow Friddle
As to the professional angle, a kid wouldn’t be a kid if he passed up an opportunity to pick up a few bucks on the side in a game at which he excelled, and what could be more natural than Indiana basketball sharks following Coach Friddle of Indiana to the University of Toledo? Minor is from Gary, but Friddle coached, obviously with great success, the other members of his allfrosh varsity at Fort Wayne high schools—six-foot eight Jim - Glass, Charley Harmon, Bob Bolyard and Art Grove.

The Hershey Bears continued their romp at the top of the American Hockey league last night when they smothered the Cleveland Barons by a 9-3 count.
Buffalo, in second place, five points back, held the pace by shutting out the Providence Reds, 2-0. Jenkins, Fronst and Hergert each tallied twice in Hershey's rout of Cleveland, with Graboski, Kilrea and Sorrell adding the other goals. Trudel, Hergesheimer and Giroux hit the net for the Barons. Providence and Buffalo were scoreless in the first before Summerhill scored in the second and Smith in the third for the Bison win.

Only the accurate sniping of Joe Tuohy, who sank 12 points, kept the Irish from being beaten worse. Broad Ripple’s Rockets outscored New Augusta from the field, 8-7, but nine free throws from the charity line in 16 attempts decided the ultimate winner. New Augusta led at the end of each quarter but a sharp. rally by the Rockets closed the gap in the final period.
